| - I'm really on the fence between 1* and 2*. I hate slating places if it wasn't ALL bad, but there weren't many redeeming qualities..
We went as a group on a Friday after our other options were 2+ hour waits. When asked about what they had on tap, the hostess who sat us sounded rude when she said 'your server can tell you that', but I think she was just shy since she was so young. Our server was pleasant enough, but loved to chat - there was no sense of urgency at all.
The time it took for drinks to arrive at our table was absolutely ridiculous. After our first order, the server came back to say half the drinks weren't available. It then took at least 20 more minutes for my drink to arrive. We even started ordering two drinks at a time. The place was almost empty and there were plenty of servers, so I cannot even fathom what the issue was.
The food was presented well, but in general it was mediocre at best. The caesar salad tasted exactly like the ready-to-make bags you get at the grocery store. My pizza was pretty lame and the reviews of the steaks weren't great. The food was slowish coming out, but additionally we got things we specifically didn't order (like a shrimp skewer on a steak) and soups coming out after the mains, all of which of course was on our bill.
At the end, they gave us two huge plates of dessert, which is a nice gesture and we were thankful. But by then we just wanted to get out of there! We were obviously drinks-focused, so a smart manager would have comped a round or two of drinks.
All I'm saying is that there's a reason this place is always empty. Seems like nice people working there, but they have to get their act together if they want to compete with all the other restaurants in the area.
